Which is a better government?

Would you keep a democratic nation? If so, would you keep an Electoral College? Would you introduce a new party? Or, we could change to a communist nation? If you chose this, who would you pick to run the nation? The final option is a socialist nation. If we had a socialist nation, how would you solve urgent problems, but still have the result represent the nation?

Ideally, I would like to be in a communist community. But since man’s lust for power always tears true communism apart, this can never happen.

Since communism isn’t possible, I would stick with democracy. But it needs to improve so that we don’t have a mere 535 people making all the major decisions for our country. Ideally, EVERYBODY would be able to vote on each and every subject that affects our community.

No, it’s a government in which the citizens have next to no freedom. Just like a Despotism, Fascism, and, to a lesser extent, a Monarchy. The current Representative Democracy in place in America is the best, I’d say.

pretty much the difference between socialism and communism is how much freedom the people have. Socialism advocates public or state ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods. examples would be public schools, the fire department, universal health care, etc.

That sounds good. It would be great if everyone was selfless and helped everyone else. Unforunately, without government, people would be out of control; raping, killing, stealing, sabotaging….. It’s our nature.

If you are concerned for your personal safety, hire someone to provide security.

And why would they protect me and not simply take my money? Or worse, kill me and take all of my money.

Because in the long run they will make more money protecting you than they would simply stealing from you. If they do this enough, and it probably would take just the one time, no one will trust them at all and then they are stuck having to really fend for themselves as no one will want to deal with them.

why do so many people actually not know what communism is

hint: most of the stuff you’ve heard about it is bullshit

communism is a type of economy

sadly many communist countries have had an authoritarian government, that is the bad bit

personally i’d have a representative democracy, with fairly high taxes and very strong social services, regulated markets, but not so much so they’re completely crippled

It’d be narrow-minded for the sum of our enlightened minds to swear by our established economic system, but equally foolish to pick communism as the solution. Most importantly, the world is changing more rapidly than ever and increased governmental regulation to reduce consumerism and the cons of liberalism would have significant advantages if that government has the people’s support and is ruled by experts more than by politicians. You can take the people out of the capitalism but you can’t take the capitalism out of the people.

If I had the power to make sweeping changes, I would change the electoral system. Speaking with the UK in mind, I would change from first past the post, which gives governments hugely inflated majorities, and thus too much power, to proportional representation. This would probably create a hung parliament, force parties to make coalitions, and would not be able to rule without consulting the people as they do now.
